Screenplay: Harry Birckmayer and Daisy von Scherler Mayer (based on a story by Harry Birckmayer, Sheila Gaffney, and Daisy von Scherler Mayer). In Brief:
Director and star bank heavily on ragtag, parti-colored charm. Not a bad bet! But certainly more spunky than well-made.
VOR:③
Technique is pretty rough here, but there's some welcome vivacity and color, and a different NYC than movies usually serve. Original, for sure.
